In reality wouldn't you be exporting that complex CSS from an animation program? Editing it by hand would be akin to editing a Flash file with a hex editor. -- Chris

You might get the pixels before they've been through a ColorSync profile/gamma correction. Consider trying to take screenshots of a DVD being played with DVD Player.app. -- Chris

And I guess you'd want it to create the HTML for you too, ideally. Perhaps Adobe will come up with something! [1] Whatever happened to animations in SVG, incidentally? Does anyone use those? Oh, what, everyone just uses Flash? No way! b. [1] You can actually export an animation from Flash CS4 as XML, incidentally. -- <bas(a)bas.me.uk> <URL:http://bas.me.uk/> `Zombies are defined by behavior and can be "explained" by many handy shortcuts: the supernatural, radiation, a virus, space visitors, secret weapons, a Harvard education and so on.' -- Roger Ebert

No, but then the HTML5 streams from Youtube can't be decoded smoothly in Safari, either (and nor can Flash streams). As far as I am concerned, I don't need to decoded BBC HD streams; I can get all of that in normal rez anyway. And that's perfectly good enough. By the time I need to decode HD, I'll have an InteliMac. I haven't needed to yet, but if I absolutely have to view HD, it works fine with Flash on Anne's MBP. -- Peter

It's used by numerous non-Apple devices including the PS3. |
